On October 23rd, you don't have to travel to Singapore or Taipei to experience the food, fun and community of an Asian night market. We'll be closing the street and opening our doors as the Internet Archive goes global! We invite you to join us for World Night Market: the Internet Archive's Annual Bash, Wednesday, October 23rd from 5-10 PM at our headquarters in San Francisco. This party is your passport to explore the Internet Archive’s global offerings, from world news to sacred palm leaf manuscripts. Inspired by the night markets of Asia, we’ll be throwing a block party for friends, partners and our community, offering up a vibrant mix of food trucks, hands-on demo stations, Lion Dancers, music and dancing.
When you arrive from 5- 7 pm, we will give you your Passport to food trucks with our favorite foods from Singapore to Mexico City to Delhi; beer & wines from around the world; Lion Dancers and music, playful tattoos, plus hands-on demonstrations of the Internet Archive’s latest innovations and partnerships.
